A woman, Tina Seals, has filed a suit in a Manhattan court claiming that she was, in fact, the birth mother of Beyonce’s daughter. And she wants custody of the “golden child”, Blue Ivy.
According to some legal experts, there was no way Beyonce and Jay Z could lose the rights to their daughter. But this factor would depend on their alleged relationship with Tina Seals, if any such relationship existed at all.
In the state of New York, it is illegal to pay anyone to act as a surrogate. But unpaid surrogacy is not illegal. Therefore, if indeed Tina Seals did act as a paid surrogate to the power couple, she might have a legitimate case.
Incidentally, two factors are not helping Beyonce in this matter. Firstly, she is very well known to be overtly narcissistic by her grandiose and excessive interest in her physical appearance. Women in her shoes, more so, those who are celebrities usually don’t have a room for any pregnancy or motherhood in their lives. To such women, a baby tends to create some form of unwelcome rivalry.
Secondly, Beyonce did not help her case against a claim of bogus pregnancy when sometimes in 2011, TMZ revealed to the whole world how Beyonce’s purported pregnancy “collapsed” while trying to sit down on a chair (See pictures below). This made many people across the world to believe that she was wearing a prosthetic.
Maybe it’s high time the power couple came out publicly to clear the air by making their positions known on all these wild rumors flying around them. Keeping mom and pretending all are well will never help their images as celebrities of note.
